Pioneer Trail Holly's Sleigh: Everything you need to know

Technically, Holiday Hollow still hasn't launched in full in Pioneer Trail, but if you're an eager player that just can't wait to jump into the game's Christmas version of Ghost Town, you'll be happy to know that you can do something right now to earn early, VIP access to Holiday Hollow proper. What's that, you ask? Simple - just build Holly's Sleigh. No, I mean it - that's all you have to do. There are no goals associated with this one - just a sleigh to build and you'll be on your way to the magic that is Holiday Hollow.

Holly's Sleigh requires you to collect six different building materials in bulk:

10 Jingle Harnesses

10 Oiled Runners

10 Gift Sacks

15 Wishlist Ledgers

15 Postmaster Badges

15 Singing Quills

The Jingle Harnesses, Oiled Runners and Gift Sacks are earned through general news posts on your wall, while the other three items are earned by sending individual requests to your friends.

Once you finish Holly's Sleigh, you'll be able to collect a Daily Bonus from it (well... daily) that gives you Candy Canes. You'll also be able to unlock Holiday Hollow proper, complete with new goals to complete and prizes to earn! What are you waiting for? Get started on building Holly's Sleigh as soon as you can, and we'll work on bringing you a complete look at what to expect when you arrive in Holiday Hollow!Check out the rest of our Holiday 2011 coverage right here.
